Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source
ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oh, for fuck’s sake. Can we have a decent password manager that isn’t tied to a browser or company? I pay for Bitwarden. I’m not being cheap. But open source is more secure. We can look at the code ourselves if there’s a concern.

Isn’t Vaultwarden used with non-free Bitwarden clients?
bilb@lem.monster 10 months ago
This need not be the case, though! There’s an open source client on Android called Keyguard. I don’t think the desktop app was at all useful anyway. You can just log into your Vaultwarden through any browser. The desktop app is pointless.

Keyguard isn’t open source. Have a look at their license. It just says “All rights reserved”.

True, but the firefox extension is nice.

The clients are free.
pmc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
They now require a non-free Bitwarden SDK component. That’s what this whole conversation is about.

Nothing in the article or in the Bitwarden repo is moving away from open source
This hysteria is stupid at this point.

It is a license problem. The license condition of the SDK which is required to build the client app change to limit the usage of it. The new license states that you can only use the Bitwarden SDK for Bitwarden. It is against the Freedoom-0 of the Free Software Foundation. The limitation of English language is that it is hard to differentiate between Free (as in Free bear) and Free (as in Freedoom). Also open source which could mean complaining with FOSS and that source is available. This been unfortunately have been abused before.

From the article, it’s a packaging bug, not a change in direction.
Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it’s a “packaging bug” and that “Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model.”

They have confirmed it was a packaging bug and will be resolved.

Love Keepass. Love that I can sync it however I want. Love that there are multiple open source client options across several operating systems.

Android syncthing announced they’re stopping development this year. Open source got fucked double today

terrible day. There is a fork called syncthing-fork that is under current development. I hope both projects merge.
